The welding cell that needs neither a programmer nor a jig
A welding cobot automates the arc. But in a small batch, the arc is only a small part of the work: you still need a welder to read the drawing, place the parts, tack them and teach the program. Our cell takes over from the 3D file: it chooses the assembly order, positions the components, tacks them and welds them.
What changes in your workshop
Designed for welding and fabrication shops of 5 to 50 people.
No more part-by-part programming.
The robot program is generated from the STEP file.
No more dedicated jigs.
A magnetic table and a second arm hold the part during tacking.
Small batches become profitable.
Changing part number means changing file.
Your welders focus on the rest.
Large structures, rework, complex parts.

Base configuration
Standard industrial components, built around software that makes the difference.
The exact configuration (robot brands, welding power source, guarding) is finalised with the pilot workshops. It remains compatible with MIG/MAG power sources on the market.
| Robots | Two arms: one handles, the other tacks and welds |
|---|---|
| Process | Standard MIG/MAG power source |
| Vision | 3D camera to locate parts in the bins |
| Workstation | Magnetic table |
| Parts | Structural steel, up to about 1 m x 0.5 m, laser-cut components |
| Safety | Designed to EN ISO 10218 and the Machinery Directive, CE marked |
Welding cobot or autonomous cell?
A conventional cobot automates the arc: an operator is still needed to place the parts, tack them and teach the path. The autonomous cell starts from the file and does the assembly too.
Both have their place. A cobot is a good choice for long runs of the same part; the cell targets workshops that handle many part numbers in small quantities.
The full comparison| Task | Cobot | Cell |
|---|---|---|
| Read the drawing | Operator | Software |
| Place the parts | Operator | Robot arm |
| Tack | Operator | Robot arm |
| Program | Operator (teaching) | From the STEP file |
| Weld | Cobot | Robot arm |
Rental
Rent the cell for 6 to 12 months. If it suits you, the rent you have paid is deducted from the purchase price. Leasing possible through a finance partner.
The rental offer Not ready yet?Start with subcontracting
Give us a few part numbers first: we produce them on our own cell. You see the result on your parts before investing.

Welding hours per month, hourly rate, number of part numbers: the calculator puts a figure on what preparation costs you today.
Open the calculatorThe cell is in design. Meanwhile, your parts are produced with a partner workshop.
We are looking for pilot workshops to test it on their real parts.
